It will be the final highlight of the league's 40th season and conclude week of online presentations to the best performed teams and individuals of 2021.
AFL Central West life member Tony Lewis, one of the driving forces behind the hall of fame, explained it is a way to honour those who have gone beyond assisting their clubs and worked towards the betterment of the league.

"Two years ago the AFL actually approached myself with the concept of creating a hall of fame for the league for it's 40th year celebrations and it has been a work in progress," Lewis said.
"It's heavily weighted for the work you've done for the league rather than just playing in the league."
Member clubs have been asked to nominate candidates for induction and a week before the reveal, 26 names had been submitted for consideration.
White hopes the naming of the first hall of fame inductees and announcement of individual award winners will help provide a positive finish to the year after the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown forced the finals series to be abandoned.
The AFL Central West Facebook page online awards will begin with a reveal of the coach and umpires of the year, Auskick co-ordinator of the year and senior leading goalkickers on Monday.
Wednesday will feature live best and fairest vote counts for the junior grades, with the senior count to follow on Thursday.
